hm ... not sure either, i'm not a total newbie and i dare say im either mis-reading a lot or else my impression is starting your token on steem-engine costs between 100 and 2500 STEEM(??!?) if you want full functionality , which is ofcourse normal as a monopoly pricing but i dont find anything but

use the javascript library or you can use anything to access the rpc without any mention of where or what and the rest is get on discord and i still have a sour aftertaste from the last time i got on steemchat and steemdevs two years ago ...
all true :)

even thinly laid out docs like those for condenser would be better than none
